Azure Logic Apps Management

Azure Logic Apps has become one of the most important parts of any business workflow. Logic Apps provide a way to simplify and implement scalable integrations and workflows in the cloud. It provides a visual designer to model and automates your process as a series of steps known as a workflow. There are many connectors across the cloud and on-premises to quickly integrate across services and protocols. A logic app begins with a trigger (like 'When an account is added to Dynamics CRM') and after firing can begin many combinations of actions, conversions, and condition logic. Given the move to a serverless infrastructure, most of the integration solutions built using Azure technologies make use of Azure Logic Apps to extend their business workflow and process the data.

Challenges in managing Azure Logic Apps

Logic Apps will scale up automatically to meet demand. Logic Apps brings speed and scalability into the enterprise integration space. As businesses move towards digitalization, Logic Apps allows you to connect legacy and cutting-edge systems together. Therefore it is important to avoid unneccesary downtime of the mission critical Logic Apps. How many times in a day does your support person have to watch for ‘Trigger Runs Succeeded’ in a particular Logic App and take an appropriate action, or look out for ‘Total Billable Executions’? We understood that it would be nice if we can autommate this with Serverless360.

For example, consider a simple digital marketing scenario, where a Logic App:

• Be triggered whenever a new tweet appears on the configured Twitter handle
• Text of the received tweet should be passed on to the configured ‘Azure Cognitive- Services’ to receive the sentimental score
• Trigger an email if the sentiment score is < 0.3

In such cases it is important for you to:

• Ensure Logic App to be ‘Enabled’ by checking at regular intervals
• Identifying the reason behind any Run Action Failure scenarios to recover the failure
• Check the message at input and output stages
• Evaluate efficiency and reliablity of the Logic App
